Today 2 people n OKC airport with surgical masks, not asian
edit: may not be related note. Surgical masks are made to keep doctors and nurses from introducing germs from the mouth and nose in open wounds. They do not stop cough droplets effectively from being inhaled. |

Stopped in at my local Meijer. Cruised through the pharmacy section and noticed that Imodium was still available but hit hard. As I turned I noticed an elderly couple with masks on. Odd for my area but not too far out of place. Food was still plentiful. Grabbed some Diet Coke and noticed another guy probably mid 30's with a 4ish year old son. Both with masks.
I'm not sure if this is the calm before the storm, or just happened to see a couple random groups wearing masks.. |

Went grocery shopping today. Pharmacy section was almost sold out of rubbing alcohol. The cold/flu section had some empty spots, but still plenty of most things. No masks on the shelves, but not sure if they sell them normally or not. I can't wear N95 masks (multiple fit tests at work, they will not seal effectively) so they are not something I pay attention to.
No one was wearing masks. Struck up a conversation with the checkout girl about the kung flu, she was young, early twenties. She was aware of the outbreak, but not very informed. She was slightly worried, but working as a cashier she does not have money to prep and cannot skip work if things get bad. |

There are supposedly no packs of N95 masks greater than 3 masks within 200 miles of my location at home depot or Lowes - assuming you trust their inventory systems. And Amazon is out.

Saw some N95 masks on amazon (out of stock) they were trying to sell them for $197 for a 10 pack!

Why are the mods not keeping the GD bs that’s overwhelming this forum out?
Haven’t seen any reaction here in southeast MN yet. Masks are not sold out and I haven’t heard of anyone wearing them around here. |

Today, about 1300-1500 EST, in northern NH:
- Went to Lowes, bought the last big pack of N95 masks. Lots of respirators, P100 filters, 2/4/6 packs of basic N95s, and the more expensive 3M "cool flow" N95s still available. -Went to Home Depot next door to see what they had on the shelf. An Asian woman with a Caucasian husband was buying several 40-pack N95s. They went down the aisle and while we were looking at what was left she came back and bought another from right in front of us. It seemed like he was saying that they had enough, and she was ignoring him. - Went to a local hardware store to see what they had and found no big packs of N95 but plenty of 2/4/6 packs. - Went to WalMart to buy groceries. No sign of anyone stocking up, staple goods on the shelves. Typical Sunday madhouse of shoppers getting ready for the week. Did see more than a few people checking out the big bags of rice and dried beans. eta: Isopropyl alcohol was running low, Imodium was well stocked as was the Equate generic. |

I bought the last of the 40 and 20 pack 3M N95 masks at my local HoneDepot 3 days ago. But they still had plenty of the HD made in china N95 masks in 25 packs and they still had 3 packs of 3M
So some people are buying stuff but not many |

According to sources in China, you will get this virus through any mucus membrane, such as your eyes. Also, viruses in this family with like that.
Dust and surgical masks are to prevent you from SPREADING disease, not from contacting them. You can buy all the dust masks you want if it makes you feel better, but they provide minimal protection for you at best. Prepare to bug in. Stockpile energy and food and water. UV light kills SARS virus, which is closely related to this one, as does 60c for 15 minutes. |

Bought a 20 pack of masks at Home Depot yesterday. Not a lot of stock but normal for that store.
We are in the middle of cold and flu season here so that may affect what you are seeing in the pharmacies. |

I dont have these so I can go out into the masses of infected people, I have these so I can take care of my wife and kids if one or more get infected while standing a good chance of not getting sick if I am careful so I can continue to take care of my family if someone is sick and continue with an armed response if needed. But this is a thread to track trends and changes in how people react and respond. |

Local Albertsons - No one seemed particularly concerned. I'm going to grab more things that I forgot to get today tomorrow. I'm out of coffee
My goal is simply to stock up so I don't have to fight crowds in a panic. I am purchasing things that I would eventually purchase anyways. I think the timeline before stores get picked clean of pretty much everything is going to be this coming weekend. If things go the way I think they will, I'm going to try to work from home here pretty soon.

I'm probably going to have to fly to Salt Lake City next week. From here, I usually have to go thru DFW. Wearing PPE might look a little ridiculous but I'd rather look ridiculous than catch something at a place where there are a great number of asians passing thru (like DFW). I think I'd postpone going out to Silicon Valley for the next 3 weeks or so. San Fran and San Jose airports usually have large contingents of asians present as well owing to the prevalence of particularly Chinese in SV.

I knew better than to put this in GD you people are worthless I've seen the CVS by my house have a whole shelf where the surgical masks used to be wiped clean, and a few loose masks laying on the floor. I went to lowes, bought some n95 masks (last boxes that were out) and had a guy in the lowes offer me 10 bucks over sticker to take them. I declined, thought that was kind of odd. Also, saw people at sam's club loading up with dry goods (although hard to determine whether just people shopping or prepping). Postmates driver had a mask on. |

Amazon is out of N95 masks, so is my local HD - Local Ace has some, but I'm in a smaller town than where the HD is, but not far.
